When your team needs to kick off a project, hire a new employee, deploy some code, review a sales contract, finalize next year's budget, measure an A/B test, plan your next office opening, and more, Slack has you covered.

Job description

Slack has transformed business communication. It’s the leading channel-based messaging platform, used by millions to align their teams, unify their systems, and drive their businesses forward. Only Slack offers a secure, enterprise-grade environment that can scale with the largest companies in the world. It is a new layer of the business technology stack where people can work together more effectively, connect all their other software tools and services, and find the information they need to do their best work. Slack is where work happens.

The Manager, Executive Communications & Content Development is critical to our success and will play an important role in the growth of our communications team. This position is a unique hybrid: part executive communications, part content development, this person will both lead the executive communications program and platform development for key members of our Executive Leadership team and develop all written materials (speeches, bylines, blog posts, press releases, etc.) in support of their respective executive platforms. This is a great opportunity to play an important role in further establishing the voice of our executive team to help articulate the Slack story.

Slack has a positive, diverse, and supportive culture—we look for people who are curious, inventive, and work to be a little better every single day. In our work together we aim to be smart, humble, hardworking and, above all, collaborative. If this sounds like a good fit for you, why not say hello?
